"Experienced Defense Industry Translation and Much More"
"有经验的国防工业及其它工业的翻译家"


Welcome! 欢迎!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I sincerely hope that I can be of service in your search for a suitable translator.

I specialize in providing quality English translations of Chinese texts in the military, defense, and government fields. This specialization is not arbitrary. I have been translating in the Chinese-language military and government field for over six years. This includes translation of print media that covers new military, political, and economic developments in the Pacific Rim, political editorials, strategic analyses, military reports, political speeches, notes from political meetings, military history, defense-related high-tech scientific journal articles and master's theses, and much more. In addition to my abundant translation experience I have spent five years serving in the United States military and have lived in China for over two years. As I am able to skillfully synthesize these diverse elements of my background, I believe you will find that they imbue my translations with an accuracy in content, cultural context, and language seldom seen in the work of other translators in this field.

Please feel free to take a few minutes to peruse my curriculum vitae and the rest of my pertinent information. I am quality-oriented and only take on work with which I can provide you the utmost satisfaction. I truly hope that we will have the opportunity to work together and hope that your search for a suitable translator is successful. Thank you.


"Excellent service, on time, accurate, professional, polite. Definitely my translator for the next Chinese to English job!"
-Ralph Bland, Say It In English
